They’re not. At least not “truthfully”.

Whether it’s drag shows, lesbian sex tapes, or whatever example you want to use, the Republicans don’t personally have a problem with any of them.

What they DO have, is the knowledge that if you give uneducated people someone to hate/fear and then say that YOU are the one who can save them from it while implicitly giving them permission to hate, you’ll get votes.

It’s not about what they personally believe. Never has been. It’s what their voters are afraid of.
